My English World

If you live in Monmouthshire....

If you live in Monmouthshire, I am very envious!! On June 18, garden designer, Arne Manyard is opening his garden, Allt-y-Bela for a single evening perfomrance of Romeo and Juliet by the Living Willow Theatre company. Guests are invited to bring a picnic to eat in the garden before the performance starts. A perfect summer's evening, rain or shine, is sure to be had. It sounds like heaven to me....Details, here.

Looks such a beautiful garden Jeanne, no wonder you would like to go. But a bit closer to you, you could go on one of Sarah Raven's gardening day courses - they are wonderful and I am sure you would enjoy one. She has a lovely garden in East Sussex. (from Semi Expat Sarah x)

Arne Maynard is, of course, one of the principal garden designers of our times. His gardens, which combine a strong structure with informal plantings, are deeply rooted in the English tradition but have a modern, cutting edge to them so that they could never be considered staid.

In the few years he has been in Monmouthshire, since his move from Norfolk, he has created a superb garden in next to no time. Well, well worth a visit. Have fun!

A performance of "Romeo and Juliet" in that gorgeous garden setting seems too good to be true. How I wish I could attend. The other garden pictures are beautiful. I had not heard of Arne Maynard and will now look him up. He is obviously very talented.

Dear Reader...

I created this blog to help me find my way whilst living in England. I have since moved to Vietnam with the hopes that I will return one day. To that end, I will write here..to keep the connection going, until I am once again...Finding My Way in England.

In the meantime, I hope you find something here to inspire you as you find your own way around England...
